Hey all. I need a good CD burner. I know plextor has the best rep and the PlexWriter Premium has been a drive of choice (mainly because of the accompanied software) but since these are on longer being manufactured what is the drive of choice these days? Thanks.

John, this industry changes so much in such a little time. How are the newer Plextor drives? My last ones are the 700 series..but the newer 230a's and those types.are they still recognized as being at the level of the older ones? I have places for 2 more..and the 230A...well no real track record..and the prices are right. I guess folks are going with the 755's now..is that right?

The new plextors are every bit as good as the old ones. They're amazing drives. Oh, and you can even get the premium ones at best buy!!
I recently spoke a lot with Plextor and their PR firm over a topic discussed here where someone stated that Plextor wasn't even making their own drives anymore. Short version - they are still making their own drives and coding their own drivers.
In general, I find them to be the best out there. I've been using their premium external drive (the 716 or 726 or something like that - I forgot the model #, but it's the one that comes with PlexWrite Premium software and testing tools, etc.) and I couldn't be happier. If I ever burn a coaster, it's always been my fault, not the drives. Using Taiyo Yudens, I've never output a disc with a single C2 error and all the discs have always had an average of <1 C1 error / second.
I can't say enough positive about plextor!
